Years ago I discovered that I used to slow down and struggle with simple things, soon after making a mistake (a bug) that I obviously missed. So I learned to go back and review my most recent code whenever I sensed that I began struggling. It appears that in those cases I subconsciously registered the mistakes. Of course you can also introduce bugs while happily coding along, but whenever you falter for no apparent reason, just review your most recent code for mistakes.
Suppose a person is for example willing to spend $100,000 to obtain 10000 votes, in order to win an election. The only reason this person would do that is to 'earn' that money back, with a handsome profit. The only way that works is via corruption.
I chose my Samsung GT-I8160 purely because of its size. It's a pity that it's really slow, compared to the latest king sized smartphones. But I don't want to haul one of those around anymore. I wish someone would make a GT-I8160 sized high end smartphone. A slide-out keyboard would be nice, but I don't expect to own one of those ever again. Touchscreens are too easy for phone designers.
So you think it would be a good thing if only the most cold hearted autistic people would survive? There's a brand new state in parts of Syria and Iraq where you will feel right at home.
Years ago I asked my uncle, who was a teenager during WW2, if he knew of people in our village that had hidden refugees during the war. As you mentioned, this was a very dangerous thing to do. He had to think long and hard, but managed to remember two or three families. Next I asked him if he knew about young men who had gone to fight on the German side. He immediately named about a dozen, but added that most did so because the pay was good and some simply went because they would get enough decent food to eat. At that moment I had the sad realization that those who would oppress us if they could, are living quietly among us. They live in every street, everywhere. As soon as an opportunity like WW2 arises, they will jump in and become the oppressors. But heroes are a lot harder to find.
I was 12 and at home in the Netherlands. I had to stay awake all night, but I had no trouble staying awake because that afternoon our neighbor had drowned. When we went swimming in the morning I was in their car. I was all alone that whole night with my thoughts, watching the landing, waiting for hours for the astronauts to get out of the LEM.
Everybody is accusing everybody else, that means that those who did it are cowards. I hope they will be punished, but I realize that those who are responsible probably never will in this case. Because they will be protected by other cowards.
You make think that you're a big balled freedom fighting hero, but in fact you are the worst kind of coward. Instead of admitting what happened, and apologizing, and turning yourself in to the International Crimes Court, you're trying to put the blame on others.
You're a despicable coward. I hope you'll never be able to have good night's sleep for the rest of your stupid life.
That means that the EU can order all secret services worldwide to hand over all the data they have on the EU and its citizens. Same goes for China etc.
True, the Boston bombers apparently considered the whole civilized world as enemies.
But for instance in Lebanon some of the most powerful individuals were killed by bombings. Those were obviously targeted.
So both are true, but in the west we mostly read about bombings and don't always get to hear who the true target was. Maybe because there's not much point in knowing what local figure was targeted and why.
My point is that someone specific in that crowd probably was targeted, but to us the public, it remains a random crowd of people. At least that's what I've been told by someone who was in some special forces somewhere.
I believe most bombings are targeted, we just almost never hear who the target was. We just read about some marketplace being blown op, but not who happened to be walking there. Besides, the reasoning could be hard to understand, in some places people can get killed for holding a wrong opinion. Or because someone wants to gain power.

Does a total of 666 make sense?
The other 660 pairs are for the NSA.

190000 feet = 57912 meters.
Just helping NASA to prevent getting their units mixed up again.
Vote selling leads to corruption.

What about my right to search?
There is no such right, except in your imagination.
It must be my imagination that people in other countries may have more rights to search the internet than me.
I realize that universal human rights are not recognized in large parts of the world, but I was hoping at least the EU would.
I think I'll switch to google.com, my local version is crippled because of EU law.
get back in the womb, critter your brain is not fully developed yet
Or their mother's basement, whichever is more convenient....
Mother's basement as a convenient replacement for the womb. There's a joke in there somewhere...
It's a good thing.

I''l never forget.
I don't know who did this and I don't care.

To whoever is responsible:

Don't write a court review.
Will it drive by the seat of my pants?

Individuals can't even enter suggestions, only organizations can.
Yes, but these are politicians performing a carrot and stick maneuver on Scotland.

The word 'Free" in its name is a bit misleading. The university was founded by "a group of orthodox-Protestant Christians" (English Wikipedia page):

Maybe Slashdot could use an on/off topic moderation level.
(I wasn't going to post on the subject, but now I can write an off topic post too :-)
